KML layer problems in Google Maps Javascript API v3

Question

Here's my code:

<html><head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
  html { height: 100% }
  body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
  #map-canvas { height: 500px; width: 500px; }
</style>
<title>Map Your Reps</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api  /js?key={key}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function initialize() {
    var mapOptions = {
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 92),
      zoom: 7
    };
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);

    var kmlUrl = "http://{HOST}/kml/file.kml";
    var kmlOptions = {
        suppressInfoWindows: true,
        preserveViewport: false,
        map: map
    };
    var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer(kmlUrl, kmlOptions);
  }
  google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Map</h1>
<div id="map-canvas"/>
</body></html>

For some reason, the .kml file, though publicly accessible, is not getting loaded by the API.

I notice in the network tab of the developer tools in Chrome the following request:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js/KmlOverlayService.GetOverlays?1shttp%3A%2F%2F{HOST}%2Fkml%2Ffile.kml&callback=_xdc_._9dx071&token=97074

The response is: /**/_xdc_._9dx071 && _xdc_._9dx071( [0,null,null,null,null,null,3,[["client","2"]]] )

When I load other KML files, this data structure represents the data from the file.

Some facts:

My HTML file and my KML file are both on an Amazon EC2 instance and accessible publicly ... no passwords, HTTPS, or other tricky business
My KML file is not compressed ... it's a real-life bonafide KML file
My KML file validates on kmlvalidator.com
My KML is 709K in size and includes polygons
No error messages are generated, and nothing appears on the map ... except the map itself.

I'd appreciate any assistance I can get to figure out why this KML layer isn't loading.

Thanks!

I was having the same problem (nulls in the response). It turns out I was blocking google via iptables on the server.
